Steph was incredible as he always is, Clippers guard Austin Rivers said.
Tobias Harris scored 22 points, Gallinari wound up with 15 and DeAndre Jordan had 14 points and 14 rebounds for Los Angeles, which had won five of six.

We need every point that we can get at this point, Blackhawks right winger Patrick Kane said. There’s still belief in this locker room. Obviously, we have to go on a run and have a big record down the stretch, but we’ll take it a game at a time.

In Friday’s win over the Sharks, defenseman Jan Rutta scored a goal in his return from injured reserve, Nick Schmaltz added a goal on his 22nd birthday, and goaltender Jean-Francois Berube came close to a shutout while making a career-high 42 saves in his first start for the Blackhawks after being called up from the AHL.

Jean-Francois Berube had a good time in his return to the NHL — at the San Jose Sharks expense.

Berube made 42 saves in his first start for Chicago and the Blackhawks beat the San Jose Sharks 3-1 on Friday night.

It was fun, Berube said. I’m just going out there and enjoying the moment.

The 26-year-old Berube, recalled from Rockford of the AHL last week, appeared in one previous game for Chicago this season in relief of Anton Forsberg on Dec. 6. He hadn’t started in the NHL since Feb. 19, 2017, as a member of the New York Islanders.

It’s been a while, Berube said. I felt comfortable from the moment the puck was dropped. Just have to build on it, keep working on little details and try to improve my game as much as possible.Game Mens Fran Tarkenton Jersey

Still, right now the catch means something very substantial. It represents all of those ideas and beliefs, still 锟斤拷 not the bland, commercial versions of them. After the game, Pederson talked with his team about their disagreements on small things like the dress code and his calls for discipline … before reminding them that their win is a reward for the understanding of the necessity of those small things. That play even symbolizes that, as the team believed in the leadership of the coach who then trusted and gave his players chances to shine.
New England’s protections made the job that much easier. Over and over again the Patriots used seven-man protections. The running backs chipped defenders as they ran their routes.

We knew Brady was going to get the ball out quick, Barnett said. We just didn’t want to give him easy seven-on-sevens. You can’t get to the quarterback when he’s throwing it quick.Andrew Billings Jersey
More than seven years later, McDaniels had a second chance as a head coach with the Colts hiring him to replace Chuck Pagano, However, McDaniels threw a total wrench into plans by spurning the Colts and staying with Darron Lee Womens Jersey New England.

McDaniels has spent the past six years as the Patriots’ offensive coordinator, drawing up plays for a team that’s advanced to the AFC championship or Super Bowl each year in his tenure.

It was a potentially high-profile signing for a franchise that was one of New England’s biggest rivals throughout the 2000s. McDaniels re-established himself as a commodity in Foxborough and interviewed for multiple positions in 2016 and 2017. But now the Colts are back at square one when McDaniels turned them down.

Lynch was happy not to have to franchise tag Garoppolo, which would have kept the QB’s contract situation hanging over the team throughout 2018. With the former Patriots backup having won all seven of his NFL starts and Lynch being saluted for pulling off a steal in the trade, there was no other choice but to pay the piper.

Lynch and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan were all smiles at the press conference to announce the Garoppolo signing. Life was good in 49erland.

He has the lengthy Wikipedia page to prove it.
Lehman told local radio he thinks Porter should be able to return this season (it’s worth noting he is not treating him). He expounded on it in an interview to the Missouri student newspaper.

Most single-level decompression (back surgeries) take six to eight weeks to recover, Lehman said. The thought that he’d miss the whole season 锟斤拷 in my opinion 锟斤拷 is probably not realistic. Everyone is going to cheat on the long side a little bit and say it’s going to take a little longer just in case things do.Brandon Marshall Kids Jersey
Peyton Manning recovered from a herniated disk in his neck (considered more serious than in the back) and still returned to win the Super Bowl in Denver. Tennis’ Andy Murray and former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo also had the procedure.

There’s always a chance back pain can become chronic following a microdiscectomy. It’s possible Porter could have some lingering stiffness that limits his lateral quickness and flexibility. It’s something NBA teams will have to weigh heavily before pulling the trigger on Porter as a likely top-five pick in June’s draft.

Rayshawn Jenkins Kids Jersey There’s still no way of knowing if Porter will be able to play this season. Missouri is off to a promising 8-2 start and his younger brother Jontay Porter is turning into a star in his own right. If Porter can come back and still be effective, Mizzou’s NCAA Tournament chances just got a lot more interesting.

The truth is that Porter has bigger things in front of him. He’s going to be a top pick in the draft and has to value his future over his present. But if Porter can return this season, the Tigers would love to have him.

The Padres are clearly working toward contending again. If the Hosmer signing itself Evan Longoria Youth jersey doesn’t tell you that, how they structured the deal should. It is massively front-loaded, with Hosmer being paid $20 million for the first five years and then $13 million for the last three. He gets full no-trade for three years, limited no-trade for another two, and after that he gains 10-and-5 rights.

If the Padres weren’t looking to spend a lot more in the future, perhaps even up to the luxury tax threshold, why would they front-load the deal like that? Plus, those two years of limited no-trade protection give them options to get out of the deal if it’s not working, with the promise that Hosmer’s salary will be decreasing dramatically at some point.

That’s a crappy situation for Hosmer because if they trade him, he gets no 10-and-5 rights. But maybe the money is worth it. And in an offseason when we’ve been criticizing teams for not spending money, the Padres 锟斤拷 the Padres! 锟斤拷 have made a significant investment, even if it’s not the most player-friendly contract.

The final week of the regular season is here and there are still some things to settle, most notably the final playoff spots and postseason seeding. In the AFC, the Ravens, Titans, Chargers and Bills are still alive for wild-card spots. In the NFC, the Falcons and Seahawks are vying for the final wild-card spot.

The Browns are 0-15 entering Sunday’s season finale against the Steelers and coach Hue Jackson opened his Wednesday’s press conference by asking reporters, “Who’s going to jump in the lake with me?”

The Packers would be eliminated from playoff contention on Monday night if the Falcons win at Tampa Bay. Rodgers said he hopes he’d still play against the Vikings (and Anthony Barr, who pile-drove him to break his collarbone earlier in the season), even if the postseason is not in the picture.

Their offense is a legitimate force, and their defense has enough talent — starting with Aaron Donald and Mark Barron — to continue improving under first-year coordinator Wade Phillips. They’ve scored the most points per game in the NFL as Sean McVay has unleashed Todd Gurley.

An up-and-coming team will be tested. They still have to play the Eagles, Seahawks, Saints, Vikings and Texans. If it comes down to it, the Seahawks hold the tiebreaker and get to play them at home.

McCarron will be a restricted free agent in 2018. Assuming McCarron is given the highest restricted free agent tender, which will be a minimum of $4.106 million, the Bengals would get a first-round pick if they didn’t match another team’s offer sheet for him.

The NFL is Humpty trending Dumpty, headed for a significant fall. Current team owners, having renewed Roger Goodell’s keys to their kingdoms, have renewed the message to its fans and customers:

Sunday’s Cowboys-Giants has been TV-flexed to a 1 p.m. start, the logical time to begin an outdoor game here in December, especially for ticket holders and/or PSL holders.

Except the change was predicated on diminished TV appeal — the 6-6 Cowboys are mediocre, the 2-10 Giants are 2-10 — not on righteous customer relations.

Had the teams been better, this game would have kicked off in darkness and fallen temperatures as originally scheduled — 4:30 on FOX.

That’s a real quote, and the best part is, not only did she mentioned Wentz, but she spoke in third person. What else could you possibly want from a Miss America?
The way Lewis talked about the future in his press conference on Monday would lead you to believe that the Bengals coach was not just in charge of whether or not he was going to return, but only willing to return if he received more power in terms of crafting the roster.Kids Brandon McManus JerseyAuthentic Matt Niskanen Jersey Elsewhere around the league .?.?.

Three of the early games went down to the wire, with Buffalo beating Tampa Bay 30-27 on a field goal with 14 seconds left; Tennessee keeping Cleveland winless with a 12-9 overtime victory and Miami coming up with a 31-28 victory over the New York Jets with Matt Moore in for Jay Cutler, who went out with a chest injury.

The Panthers took their 3-0 road record to Chicago, with Cam Newton having, dare we say it, another MVP type season. He’s completing 71.3 percent of his passes on the road and Bears fans are doing the calculus on Coach John Fox’s future. So what happened?The Bears won, of course, 17-3.

Mercifully, the Jets gave Hackenberg the second half off.

Unlike McAdoo, who was hired in 2016 at age 39 for his first head-coaching job, Shurmur already has had one NFL go-round in that position, when he led the Browns in 2011 and 2012. Shurmur went 4-12 and 5-11 in those seasons, plus 1-0 as interim head coach of the Eagles in 2015 after they fired Chip Kelly, but the Giants might have noted that over the past 10 years, the Browns have had just one season better than 5-11 (7-9 in 2014).

The Redskins are already in total disarray, and I’m guessing new Rams coach Sean McVay isn’t surprised Womens Travis Benjamin Jersey at all. No one knows more about the Redskins dysfunction than McVay, who served as Washington’s offensive coordinator from 2014 to 2016. When the NFL schedule came out in April, McVay probably high-fived his entire coaching staff when he saw that the Rams were playing the Redskins in Week 2.

Rodgers will be eligible to come off the IR list after eight weeks, which means he would be available for the Dec. 17 game against Carolina if the Packers are in playoff contention and if he Authentic Marquise Goodwin Jersey recovers well from the operation, which took place Thursday. Although he missed seven games with a broken collarbone in 2013, that injury was to his left shoulder; this one is to his right, throwing shoulder.Game Kids DeShawn Shead Jersey But Winston, the former top overall pick, did look impressive down the stretch, and Koetter and GM Jason Licht can point to that when making the case for another shot in 2018. Outside of the Roberto Aguayo disaster (which was more on ownership than most people know), Licht has been very good in the draft since taking over.

On Thursday, the 49ers announced a first-of-its-kind deal with Amazon Prime to deliver packages directly to the parking lot at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

Through its Prime Now service, Amazon will offer two-hour delivery (free) or one-hour delivery ($7.99) to Prime customers, who will be able to get everything from food to alcohol to team gear almost without leaving their cars.Menelik Watson Kids Jersey
It begs the questions: Who shows up to the party without bringing the beer, and who wants to tailgate with that guy? But not for the first time, technology will allow the severely antisocial or desperately lazy to avoid that last-minute trip to the store and those uncomfortable interactions with other humans.

For now, the service is offered only at 49ers home games, but with Prime Now available in 25 major metropolitan communities around the country, including Manhattan and Brooklyn, it seems only a matter of time before Jets and Giants fans can show up to the stadium wholly unprepared and still be the life of the party 鈥?as long they don’t leave their phones at home.

B锟斤拷ndchen, Brady’s supermodel wife, tried to get Feely, the retired kicker and a former Michigan teammate, to convince the Patriots quarterback to retire, according to a feature in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated.
Brady, meanwhile, has been equally vocal in maintaining he wants to play well into his 40s. After winning his fourth Super Bowl MVP last February, he told Sirius XM Radio, If it was up to my wife, she would have me retire today.

She told me that last night three times, Brady said. And I said, ‘Too bad, babe, I’m having too much fun right now.’ You know, I feel like I can still do it. If you love what you do and you’re capable of doing it, then I might be so bored if I wasn’t going out there knowing that I could still do it. So I’m going to work hard to be ready to go, and I still plan on playing for a long time.

Even Goodell, speaking to reporters before Sunday’s Bills-Jaguars matchup, admitted, We always want ratings to go up. But then, perhaps knowing his games still draw a crowd, he mentioned the NFL accounted for 37 of last year’s top 50 TV shows.

Nonetheless, the 9.7 percent viewership decline in the regular season 锟斤拷 after an 8 percent decline the prior year 锟斤拷 has the league playing serious catch-up.

In its most recent report, ad-tracker Standard Media Index estimates that audience deficiency units 锟斤拷 otherwise known as make-goods 锟斤拷 accounted for 21 percent of NFL ad inventory through the first three months of this season and for 22 percent through the same period a year earlier.

This means NFL broadcasters have been devoting about a fifth of their in-game ad time to making their advertisers whole. They do that by providing additional Jose Iglesias Youth jersey ad time 锟斤拷 at no extra cost 锟斤拷 to meet the preseason ratings targets they negotiated with their advertisers.

A lack of playmakers at receiver was the team’s Achilles’ heel last season. So the No. 1, 2 and 3 highest-rated players in the class all came from the same position, including the No. 1-rated junior college receiver, Stephen Guidry. — Scarborough

Hey, didn’t you used to be the Chiefs? Coach Andy Reid’s loyalty to QB Alex Smith is admirable in a “What have you done for me lately?” league. But it also might be exactly the wrong thing at the moment. The Chiefs’ once-promising season is falling apart. And a drastic move, like a switch to rookie QB Patrick Mahomes, could be the only thing that can save it.

Keeping this depleted team around .500 has been an accomplishment for Coach Jay Gruden. Talk of the playoffs isn’t realistic; this isn’t the AFC wild-card race, after all. The NFC wild-card chase is far less forgiving. But remaining competitive, under the circumstances, is more than anyone could have expected.

Then welcome Anthony Schwartz, Seth Williams and Matthew Hill, who could fill that need as three of the top six highest-rated players in Auburn’s class. — Scarborough

Tight end was a need for Michigan that could be included here, but offensive tackle became a need as well. As it currently stands, Michigan has tackle Jalen Mayfield committed as well as Ryan Hayes, but Hayes is listed as a tight end and could remain at that position. The coaches are still targeting tackle Jarrett Patterson, ESPN 300 Nicholas Petit-Frere and a potential grad transfer from Calvin Anderson, who is transferring from Rice. Michigan still has some work left to do to fill this need. — VanHaaren

P!nk’s performance of the national anthem in Minneapolis will be her first time appearing on the Super Bowl stage. The American singer, songwriter and actress has released seven studio albums, one greatest hits album, sold over 50 million albums equivalents, over 75 million singles, over 2.4 million DVDs worldwide and has had 15 singles in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (four at No. 1).

Personally I’m a big proponent of John Dorsey and his ability to find talent in the draft. Handing him four picks in the top 40 of this upcoming draft, including the No. 1 overall pick and the No. 4 overall pick, should produce a lot of premium talent. At the very least you’re going to see a lot of Browns win the draft again stories this offseason (which is perhaps not that different from other offseasons, and we know how that has worked out). But if you’re a Browns fan, you cannot be happy about what happened over the last 48 hours.Youth Gabriel Gagne Jersey For starters, Cleveland lost its last game of the season to fall to 0-16. That is depressing, as low as it gets for an NFL fanbase. And despite that, Jackson kept his job, having been promised to stay on as head coach earlier in the year by owner Jimmy Haslam. It appears Dorsey didn’t have a say, which is odd for a new general manager who theoretically has been given a lot of power.

But with Elliott suspended for six games, pending the outcome of his appeal, that front-runner status has been undercut. The early schedule is relatively demanding. And it only takes an extra loss or two to tilt the balance of power in the conference or even within the NFC East, which should be strong.

The Chargers exercised their L.A. option in January of this year after failing to secure public funding for a Chris Sabo Authentic Jersey new stadium in San Diego.

But was the NFL simply leaving San Diego because it could not secure a stadium solution there, rather than putting a second team in Los Angeles because it actually believed that was a good idea? It’s an interesting question. Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles, told The Dan Patrick Show this month that he would have been fine with the Chargers remaining in San Diego and the Rams being the lone L.A. franchise.

We embrace any team that comes, Garcetti said in that radio interview. We’re certainly happy to have the Chargers in L.A. But I think we could have been happy with just one [team], too.
